who Was the "Dead' Legislator?

Macs Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Late one night Jason Brown entered his room
at the Bates House. He up here in the
trial of a case and whenever here has the best
rooms at the Bates. On that account and for
other reasons his room always was looked upon
as a sort OF headquarters. There the members
of the Legislature might have been met at al
most any time.
On the night in question Jason had given
supper a dozen friends The wine had flown
freely, aud not only Jason but those with him as
he entered his room were slightly flushed. Once
inside the room, and several of the party fell
over form stretched out upon the floor The
gas was lighted at once, and there, snoring away
at a terrible rate, was found a certain member
of the Legislature who was not known to imbbe
at all. A number of efforts were made to arouse
him. but all were fruit1esa He had been out
with a party of friends and had looked upon the
wine too often when it was red. Then Jason
gave it up as a bad job. The man was clean
knocked out-dead Leaning over him and
shaking his head sadly, Jason solemniy re-
peated:
:Few and short were the prayers said
And we spoke not word of sorrow,
But steadfastly gazed on the face of the dead,
And bitterly thought of the morrow
lit was a wonderful sight," said the Senator.
'the uncovered heads and the reverential look of
each man as Jason repeated those words from the
Burial of Sir John Moore"

STOP THE WORK NOW.

II is gratifying TO see that the purpose
of the canal commissioners to abandon the
Kankakee feeder and flush the levels west
of Joliet with Chicago sewage, has begun
TO be talked about along the line of the
canal. Attention was called to this matter
several weeks ago by Mr.. VIM. Thomas
and by the FREE TRADER, by whom the
iniqulty of the scheme was explained; but
nothing, of course, was done.
Do the residents along the canal appre-
ciate what the abandonment of the Kanka-
kee feeder and the building of waste
weir at Channahon mean Do Ottawa
people realize that the weir now building
means that the canal water here at Ottawa,
which lies right In the heart of the city
will in a very short time be nothing more
nor less than Chicago sewage-a long,
stagnant pool of fostering filth and corrup
ton:
The Kankakee feeder fills the level from
Channahon to Marseilles; the Dayton
feeder these from Marseilles to La Sale
Most of the Dayton water passes through
the sidecut to turn water wheels at Ottawa
so that the water for navigation Is largely
the water that comes west from Marseiles
by way of lockages. 1t does not require
very deep mind to see that 1t is only a
question of a very short term after the
completion of the Channahon waste wier
before the water of the canal will become
an abominable nuisance, threatening the
health and lives of the entire population
along the canal from Joliet to La Sale
The nuisance will be greater west OF Jolie
than at that city; for at that place the wa
ter is in motion; west of 1t 1t will be prac
tically dead, to rot in the sun and fill tn
air with malarial poisons.
Will the people allow this outrage to b'
perpetrated? The commissioners have
plenty of money to rebuild the kankake'
feeder aoueduct over Illinois river. The.
should be compelled to do 1t.

The FnEn TRADER believes the pro
posed distillery would be good thing for
the farmers of La Sale county. The pro-
jectors claim they will consume 100000
bushels of corn per annum, and Will pay
fair price for It, Its location would GER
tainly make here market for grain that
does not now exist, for If the price should
be paid by the distillery that is paid at
Marseilles, Seneca, La Sale and Peru,
which pay from three to four cents higher
than at Ottawa and have for several years,
the grain that is now hauled away from
Ottawa long distances TO sell at higher
prices than Ottawa grain men pay, would
return to Ottawa. In this case, the distill-
cry would he worth $4,000 year to the
farmers hereabouts, and they could afford

Ottawa should not raise the mouey; which
may account for the sudden conversation
of the Journal on the subject of bounties
to manufacturing establishments. The only
points to be considered In this matter are
these: Cd Can the proposed distillery be
relied opon to be in operation the year
round? AS this company are members
of the producers pool (must be in order to
live), will they not be governed as to pro.
duction by the rulings of the pool9 All
know that the pool limits production when
ever II Is deemed its interest to do so.
This is right and proper; but is that what
Ottawa and the farmers want? They pay
this company $4,000 to run; the pool may
chose to pay them shut down at times.
How much time will 1t run and how
long remain shut down? VIII the
distillery create offensive smells when run
ming? The West Siders, 1t Is only fair to
say, are deeply Interested in this branch
of the subject, and unless guaranteed thai
no offensiveness will result therefrom, will
oppose the scheme to the better end, fol
they could object to having that part OF the
city ruined. Now the FREE TRADER
must not be understood as opposing this
7 project. If all promises of the Compan,
